At the start of a sequence of photographs, I simply put my hand in front of the lens and take an exposure. When the series of exposures is complete, I take another photograph of my hand.
What a great idea

I think what we’re talking about here is exposure bracketing for HDR, not because he’s unsure if the exposure.
Doesn't matter why he is doing it. Operation is the same.

Easy solution: Pencil and paper!
At time of image capture, jot down the image numbers and relevant information about them on the paper. Later when editing, refer to the information you wrote down. You can then rename the files, add description info to exif data or whatever you usually do with your image files.
If for some reason you abhor the use of traditional writing tools, you can type the info into your smartphone instead where it can be saved for later access.

I use it a lot. I just have it start from darkest to lightest and it is easy to tell what photos are bracket system.

That is also what I do when there is any possibility of confusion. It’s simple and doesn’t require any special hardware or software.

I use it for eclipse photography. 1. Easy to tell a series visually, but data for photos in the raw data. 2. Set mirror lock to on to avoid vibrations. 3. I use a cable controller and dummy batteries. Since I shot as many series as possible during totality, not interested in blank series or hand in front, etc. Use 258 GB memory card, basically everything automatic, series every 15 secs before totallity then as many as possible during the few minutes of totality. Can setup before hand and test settings at home before doing for real as others have suggested. That way you know battery will last memory card large enough, etc. Tripod a must, for me, tracking drive also used. I make sure tracking is good enough before totallity, then just shot and hope for the best. That way you can watch and just press the controller to shorten time between series or just let it do it all.
No matter what you are shooting automating it all and using a tripod, tracker or whatever suits makes life and good shots a lot easier. Also make sure camera does not turn off the bracketing when it turns off if bracketing is what you want.

On a 7500 the self timer shoots the entire bracketed sequence…and they’re easy to find in LR since some are dark and some are lighter. For pano sequences I always take a shot of my hand before and after.

I have the selection starting out with the darkest to the lightest and it makes it easy to pick out with a group of photos belonging to which set of shots.
